    Chris Jr annihilates him very quickly. This will be over before six, unless Jr decides to play with him.

    So many levels between them.

    CEJ is the truth. He's only taking this fight since he lost the use of both legs and arms in a recent canoeing accident.
    This is a stepping stone on the path of rehabilitation.

    CEJ TKO 6.

    It will be close. Eubank Jr can't fight going backwards and Blackwell will put him there.

    Blackwell will be the aggressor but he seems a bit plodding from what I've seen. A bit too ponderous, far from relentless. I really don't rate Eubank Jr.'s jab, it's fairly ineffective. But his punch variety and power should be enough to ward off Blackwell. I see it being a fairly clear points win for Jr.

    Blackwell is a stepping stone, marking time fight for Eubank Jr.

    If he does not take it seriously he could come unstuck, but would still most likely get the nod in a tight UD win.

    All indications point to Eubank Jr stopping the kid inside 8

    Disagree about his power pushing Blackwell back he kept coming forward against Martin Murray until his corner pulled him out.

    Close hard fought fight eubank by 2-3 rounds.

    Neither are world beaters, or even look like they're going to be world beaters, but it's a good domestic level fight all the same. I have it close, with Blackwell as the slight favourite. Both are fairly basic and it may just come down to 'who wants it more'.

    I call bs about Blackwell being the aggressor. Ryder was backing him up the whole fight he just ran out of puff. Jr hits much harder than the light punching Ryder and Murray.

    Why would Blackwell back him up if the stronger and harder hitting Spike couldn't.

    Didn't stop him but he was showboating and playing with him like I said. Can't believe people thought this would be close. I have Blackwell one round. What a one sided battering.
